I bought a bass!

Posted 4 weeks, 1 day ago at 7:54 am. 1 comment

I’m really quite excited.

I took the day off work yesterday to have my car looked at - he was making some suspicious crunching noises, which have thankfully now been rectified.

I figured while we were in Ashgrove I’d go to Guitar Brothers in Red Hill to survey their collection of Dean basses.  I was considering buying an electric guitar, but Nathan has a plethora at home that I’m always welcome to use.  I’ve pretty much staked a claim in one of them anyway :P

I’d already done some research at home.  I hit up the the Dean website to check out their range of basses and fell in love with a few in particular - the Metalman 2A collection.

Luckily, Guitar Brothers had a couple in stock.  They had the regular ML Metalman, the Metalman 2A Z and the V.  I decided upon the Z.  Nathan had a quick play with it in the store and gave it two thumbs up, so I bought him.  On the way home, we named him Murphy.

Murphy!

Murphy!

I barely put him down for the rest of the afternoon.  I bought a 10w Kustom practise amp as well, so I can listen to all the mistakes I’m making.

It’s rainy again in Brisbane.  While I really enjoy the cold soggy weather, I despise the idiots who wave their ridiculously collossal umbrellas around with complete disregard to others.

To be fair, I only despise the ones who umbrella irresponsibly.  Responsible umbrella-ing is tolerable.

We bought a heater!

We bought a heater on Friday.  It’s pretty great.

It’s a year anniversary for me and Nathan today - yay!

Bad news though - I had to cancel our dinner reservations because we’re both really unwell.  I woke up this morning and called work and promptly fell back asleep.  Being sick is awful :(

Edit: My nose is so blocked that whenever I try and sleep I wake up because i feel like I can’t breathe.  This is a mess.

Still Sick! :(

I’m still sick!  This is ridiculous!

I’m taking advantage of the days off my doctor insisted upon, and catching up on some housework.  I’m going to take lunch to Nathan’s work today so we can have a bit of a picnic :)
